i     Porf. Barnes in greeting the scholars ' .spoke of the value of school life and ed- ; ucation, and stated that Freeport High School is now the largest on Long   Isl¬ and.     He urged the scholars to try   to stay at their studies until they had fin¬ ished   the  course  given   them   by the Board of Education.    Mr.   Barnes   an¬ nounced that Samuel R.

People on the hay these last few weeks have seen boats going out load¬ ed with seed cl-dtns, ranging in size from a pea to a walnut, so small that it takes from twenty-five to thirty thou.sand to fill a llour barrel.

These are "spread" in water selected for the purpose, where they will be al¬ lowed to grow for two or three years, and then taken up and .sold, provided they don't all die or somebody else don't get them first.
